The Minority in Parliament has expressed concerns regarding the slow progress in the investigation of a major cocaine seizure at Pedu Junction, valued at over US$350 million. The National Intelligence Bureau intercepted a tipper truck carrying the cocaine hidden under sand on March 4, 2025, but only the driver, a housemaid, and a few other suspects have been charged and remain on bail more than a year later.
Ranking Member of the Defence and Interior Committee, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, highlighted the limited progress and questioned the effectiveness of investigations into high-profile narcotics cases, stating that the actual financiers and high-profile dealers behind the consignment remain unidentified and unpunished. The Minority Caucus has called for transparency and a clear account of the status and outcomes of ongoing probes into similar seizures.
